The actual joke isn't that a kid looks like a gorilla, it's that every adult and student in his life has already decided he's dangerous, so they bully him until he has no choice but to fight back, then act shocked when he does. Tadashi doesn't want violence; the world keeps forcing his hand, and the comedy comes from how completely the system fails him while treating it like his fault. Two episodes is barely enough time to land this premise, which means every scene counts.
Tadashi Iketo is a mute transfer student who keeps getting moved from one school to the next because of his supposedly violent nature. In truth he is a mild-mannered boy. His ape-like looks make him a constant target, and others keep taunting him until he ends up in fights. Across two OVA episodes, this school comedy plays on the gap between how Tadashi looks and who he really is.
